Cacophony at HU - Miss Hampton Crowned, but there's nothing you can do to change it.

So while I'm taking a leave from Hampton I see that the new Miss Hampton has been crowned. Now, her name is Nikole Churchill and she's a senior nursing major.....hmm. It seems that people are not only highlighting the fact that she doesn't attend the main campus, but it seems that people are highlighting the fact that she is not BLACK! She says, “It would be much easier to say that possibly some were not accepting of the news because I wasn’t the most qualified contestant; however, the true reason for the disapproval was because of the color of my skin. I am not African American.” I must say, I never saw this coming from my HIU. We infamously made national news (yes, BET unfortunately means national and you can see the article here) and now she has written a letter to Obama persuading him to come down and spread some "Aloha spirit" since she is actually Hawaiian. An interesting background has brought this lady to the pinnacle of success on Hampton's campus. 


Now my thoughts: It appears that Hampton has some acceptance issues. So now it looks like, "OK, we would have loved it if she were black." But she's NOT! Sorry! A sister didn't win. I think we'll be ok. There's only two months left in this semester, so we should ALL be working toward ending the year strong? I know I am, and you should be too! Don't get caught up in the overhyped mess...I bet no one cares how she is feeling. If she were to read this, I would want her to know that PEOPLE ARE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN HATING!!!!! That's all it is!!! And if Obama comes down to HU (which is highly doubtable) he should say the same DAMN thing. So enjoy your new tiara. Enjoy the smiles, the lights, the rewards. Sigh after the hard work is done, because it's only just beginning. You are going to do great things with yourself!!! Keep yourself grounded, never forgetting who you are, and you will be ok! Your time will pass, and someone new will take your place. Only you have the honor to pass down that torch because, um.....who else can say they're Miss Hampton at this point in time? My point exactly.


And while the news has gotten ahold of this story, let me just say I'm embarrassed that HU has made the news because of this. Stop being so one-dimensional and become adaptable to every situation. Become more acceptable of things beyond your control, and become versatile INSTEAD of spewing ignorant hatred. You can't expect this from everyone, but at least know you're not from PG County!! LMBO [insider haha.] But you get what I'm saying :P


So, in closing, we should not hate on Miss Hampton for not attending the main campus, or the fact that she's white. She won and there's NOTHING you can do about it!! I mean, she won! Embrace it. She is now, not later but NOW. P.S. she has yet to prove herself because let's be honest, it was based on looks, wasn't it? I don't really fully understand this whole beauty pageant election policy. Half of the winners don't even affect what goes on the main campus. So let's see what this Miss Hampton will do.


How high does this sycamore grow? If you cut it down....you will never know. -Damn right I quoted Pocahontas! lmao MEDITATE on this readers.


Let's increase the peace, because we all know shit could be worse. Right? Keep praying for a better tomorrow.


Peace and love,
